Family Registers.

Nearly all have their portfolios and scrap
books, but how many of us have family regis
ter? The family chronicles have mostly been
confined to the mere entry of the births. mar
riages and deaths of section of family
only within the covers of a family Bible. But
the idea is to keep, not only these events. bur
every item of interest and Importance in the
history of the whole family connection.
This could be kept by one branch of the fam
lily with but little trouble, if all. when they
found anything interesting. would but send It
on to the keeper of the book. Such book,
when filed would be extremely interesting to
be handed down as an heirloom from one genel-
alton to another.
Has it ever occurred to you, that as one by
one our friends and relations pass away. but
little is remembered of their past lives and his
forrest
The keeping of such family registers would
bring before the minds of the survivors OF .
family the events of deepest interest in their
family histoTy-events that would point great
lessons and prepare the feet of the traveller
still journeying through life to tread more secure
ly; to beware Of the rough places trod by his
ancestors and perhans serve incentive to
climb still higher. The leaves could be inter
spersed with family pictures sketches and sou
venirs of the family history.

Tar In the Chicken House,


1t seems that the value of tar is not sufficiently
appreciated by poultry breeders, for we seldom
either see it used, its advocated by
writer's on poultry matters. 1t can be used
with most excellent results, in fumigating the
poultry house, when through neglect or inatten-
ten it becomes necessary to put it through
quarantine, by burning some of it in suitable
vessel. and then closing the doors and windows
of the house to confine the fumes and smoke as
much possible. 1t is sure to purify the
house. Tar is very offensive to insects which
worry the poultry. Whitewash does not
seem to keep them away, especially the ''nites. ;"
which are so troublesome. and recourse must be
had to some other substance just here tar is
very valuable. Take an old kettle which is of
no use for other purposes. put in some good
tar. and heat it until it is thin and hot, then,
with whitewash brush brush it into all the
cracks and crevices where the insects most do
congregate," and they will start Off instanter,
for the seashore some other congenial abode.
Treat theperches and roosting bench to a dose of
the same. When poultry cholera max es It's appear
ance, if you thoroughly cleanse the house and
treat it above with tar, it will generally pre-
vent the spread of the disease.

gradually growing in fertility and it's value in
creasing. This is feature of dairying that is
often overlooked. The manure does not receive
that consideration it deserves. but it is equal to
a certain amount of expenditure made upon the
farm, and always returns more than its cquiya-
lent. Where butter is the principal product

the butter is almost nothing, it consisting mostly
of carbon. which is not valuable element of

farming consists in combining all occupations

stock, with the exception of pasturage; but the
main object of dairying should be to save all
that is not appropriated by the stock for the
order to do this they must use the manure to
produce food another year. Thus, under gen
eral farming, the dairy and crop-growirg are
joint occupations, the one dependent on the
other. There are hundreds of farmers who
have gradually grown wealthy at dairying,
though they really derive but little more from
the milk and butter sold than the amount ex-
pended for food as properly all crops grown and
consumed by the stock should be charged to
them; but the farmers increase of wealth is in

walls in all branches of commercial activity, and,
although the business transacted during the

significant Importance, the healthy character OF

BILE exhibit made by clearing house statistics
and railroad earnings and the absence of dis

in the firm rndertone that is found in the stock
market. the buoyant tendency exhibited
in the speculative trading of whea'.
corn, provisions and cotton. the signs of
improvement that begin to crop out in the
iron industry and the st-adiness with which the
distributive trade is main tanned at q season OF
the wear when dullness usually prevails The
only cause for uneasiness is to be found in the
unsatisfactory condition Of the foreign trade of
the country and the prospect of a firmer money
market. The nrst begins to show signs of i'm
provement: that &c, imports falling off and
exports of produce are increasing. while the
prospects of anything like disturbance in the
money market are exaggerated with the hope of
influencing speculation" In prices there were
bu; few fluctuations in valuss. Sugars move up
of a cent. and firm at the advance. COT

staple groceries there 10 a strong tone TO prices
